Instructions

How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is key for achieving perfectly roasted chicken and tender veggies that are full of flavor.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss together the chicken, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture onto a sheet pan in a single layer. Make sure it's not overcrowded; this helps everything roast nicely and caramelize!
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye out for the chicken to be cooked through and the veggies to be fork-tender and slightly golden.
  • Serve your savory fajitas with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Notes

Garnish with fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor and color. Ensure all ingredients are cut uniformly for even cooking and perfect texture. Use fresh ingredients for better flavor, especially with the chicken and bell peppers.
